"Millions Will Die, and I Don't Care": Leaked Putin's Plans for WW3 Against Europe - The Russian Dude



“MILLIONS WILL DIE, AND I DON'T CARE”: Leaked Putin's Plans for WW3 Against Europe dives deep into explosive claims published by the Russian Telegram channel VChK-OGPU about a potential large-scale war between Russia and NATO in Europe. According to the alleged blueprint, the Kremlin could prepare for mass mobilization, frozen bank deposits, financial seizures, and catastrophic losses reaching 20 million people between 2026 and 2028. This video analyzes whether these WW3 scenarios are realistic, how credible insider leaks from Russian elite circles really are, and why Pavel Durov and Telegram censorship controversies matter in understanding information warfare inside Russia.

We break down how Putin’s personalist autocracy functions behind the scenes, from elite infighting inside the Kremlin to anonymous Telegram channels replacing independent media like Kommersant and Vedomosti. The video explores how internal power struggles, sanctions pressure, war economy expansion, and military spending reaching double-digit percentages of GDP could signal long-term preparation for escalation beyond Ukraine. At the same time, we examine the limits of prediction in a system centered entirely around Vladimir Putin, a leader isolated for over two decades, operating inside a tightly controlled information bubble disconnected from public reality.

A key focus is the 2026 Russian general election and why even a tightly managed vote can become a destabilizing stress test for the regime. We discuss how major unpopular decisions — from pension reform to mobilization waves — historically follow election cycles, and why timing matters more than rhetoric. Could a full NATO confrontation, nationwide mobilization, electronic draft systems, unified military databases, travel restrictions, and emergency financial controls realistically happen before 2026? Or does the Kremlin need political consolidation first?

Finally, we analyze Russia’s massive war spending, corruption patterns, military-industrial buildup, and whether the scale of defense budgets signals preparation for a broader European conflict or reflects systemic inefficiency and elite enrichment. Is the “loaded gun” already mounted on the wall, waiting for the trigger? Or is this another example of fear amplified by opaque governance and strategic ambiguity?

This breakdown covers Russia-Ukraine war escalation risks, NATO-Russia tensions, Kremlin strategy, Russian mobilization laws, frozen bank deposits rumors, war economy dynamics, elite power struggles, election timing, sanctions impact, defense spending, and the long-term geopolitical future of Europe. If you want sober analysis of Putin’s strategy, potential WW3 scenarios, European security risks, and how Russia’s internal political system shapes global instability, this video delivers a clear and detailed perspective on what could come next.

Was it just yesterday and every other day before talking about Putin's dire situation and Russia's demise?

Which is it?
